excellent

I booked here because some friends of mine did came here 2 months ago and said it was fantastic. Now I see this wonderful hotel is 1st on tripadvisor.. This is something special among the hotels in Santa Marta. The average standard is quite low, so when I entered I was stunned by the beauty and relax that anyone can feel.everything is clean and the staff is charming. it is in the centre, close to the bay, the loction is very nice.the price worths the service you got. very good indeed. reccommendedMore

We are so happy that we made your stay great. We strive to constantly raise the bar with quality and service, and we really appreciate hearing when we succeed. We designed Isabella to be very tranquil and cozy, and feel confident that we achieved that goal with design as well as ambiance. You can also check out our sister hotel, Casa de Leda, located a few blocks away.

We spent 4 nights in Casa de Leda- the other Kali hotel in town. On our way back down the coast Casa de Leda was booked they reserved us 2 rooms an Casa de Isabella for 1 night. It is also magnificent. Great location, very comfortable and friendly. Beautiful, clean rooms. Staff is exceptionally helpful and speaks English. The breakfast is fabulous and served outdoors on the veranda. The pool at this hotel is on the terrace with a lovely outdoor sitting area. There are parking lots close by that over charged us but the staff at Isabella got our money back.

Good value with nice but small pool. Rooms are really clean, comfortable, breakfast is good, and good location, just off parque los novios where there are some lively bars. Staff are attentive and eager to help and only improvements I can think of would be for better information about restaurants and things to do. My wife also said the cocktails had some margin for improvement and although hotel had Apple TV internet was too slow to use it

My wife and I spent five nights at Casa de Isabella in early February 2014. Jason and his staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable....the Apple TV and fluffy dressing gowns were a nice touch. Breakfasts served on the second floor veranda were excellent, the kitchen staff were so friendly and accommodating. The location is great....close to the water front, great restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend Casa de Isabella to anyone travelling to Santa Marta.

We headed to Santa Marta mainly for the diving but this hotel really made it. All the staff were so friendly, Jake the owner of kali hotels, went out of his way not only to give us all the local news/gossip but also arrange our onward journey. I was lucky enough to stay in 3 of the Kali properties and cant recomend them highly enough. The hotel is perfectly loacated yet set back from the road far enough to feel truly separate from city life. Breakfast is delicious and generous and everyone is always eager to help. The pool is perfect when you need to retreat from the sun and the seating area is perfect for a drink. There is wide selection of local restaurants around a beautiful park 2minutes walk away so plenty of choice after a hard day!Diving in this area is truly stunning, definitely not to be missed.

This is a lovely hotel two blocks off the beach in old Santa Marta. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The second floor pool is small but pleasant, and there are sitting areas nearby for both sun and shade. The room comes with a breakfast that is plentiful and cooked to order, including fresh fruit and fresh-squeezed orange juice--all delicious! Santa Marta is changing rapidly and this hotel is one of the many positive changes in recent years.
